Day 26 of 30

Day 26. 8 x 8 mixed media on paper. © 2017 Sheila Delgado

Had fun with this. So much, that I didn’t even think about the fact that I cut the painting in half. I was going to add more vines. The colors refused to scan right. The background colors do get lighter, but not white. There are three blues in the background, but the difference isn’t visible here. The swirly blooms are a mix of a flesh color, and a very soft pink. They are warmer than they look.

Just a bit of fun.

I worked a bit more on Day 25 as well. I went over the white lines, I think it helped a bit. Added pen as well.

Day 25 revised.

Here is the before,

Day 24, Evening Skyline. 8 x 8 Acrylic on paper. © 2017 Sheila Delgado

When I paint these, I am only thinking about how the colors might look together. The feeling that the combination might evoke. Might be stretching a bit here with the title. When I had finished, I thought of the evening sky, the last fading light as it hits the clouds.

I can’t wait to get home and catch up with everyone!

Day 23, Haboob. 8 x 8 Acrylic on paper. © 2017 Sheila Delgado

One of my first visits to Phoenix, we saw a haboob. It was incredible. We were inside the hotel room, on the second or third floor. Day turned to night. It passed quickly, and by morning, the weather was calm.

It’s a huge sand storm. HUGE. Basically, winds from a storm shoot straight down towards the ground. That stirs up a huge wall of dust which is carried on those winds for miles.

Here’s a look:

Today’s painting reminded me of one of these storms. We have had a couple of mini’s behind the house. When it was still just a field. A sunny day quickly became grey and dark. They are stunning to watch. I hope I am never out and about when one hits. Certainly not driving.

Happy weekend! We are down to the last seven!
